We can always switch to srcu. Switching to srcu is not a noop for all
mmu notifier invalidates only after these locks can schedule. At that
point, so with srcu + mutex in the rmap locks, all the mmu notifier
invalidates can schedule, allowing XPMEM to be synchronous its
invalidates, and making it safe.
